"projectile entity name"

A google search trying to find out what this attribute does turned up nothing. I tried putting in things like "PROJECTILE_SENTRY_ROCKET" as well as integer values into this attribute, but it didn't do anything for the Rocket or Grenade Launchers. Anyone know anything about the function of this Attribute?

Apparently it's an attribute that was unused, intended for an update that never came. Either way it seems to be non-functional.

I believe that's for "Projectile override type"

Of all things, arrows can make it through...

Kinda seems to hint at a new meta huh? :P

Yeah, I think Briefcase's description is right on. I'm fuzzy on the function of the shield but if I'm not mistaken the entity blocks most anything passing through it, regardless of attributes.

Heck.

I keep trying to find ways to balance a mission so that it doesn't encourage total reliance on the shield, and at the same time allow it to still be useful. That balance has eluded me thus far.

I tried to find it on archive.org but couldn't find anything. I admit I'm a bit peeved at the loss of that thread, but it's best to look to the future.

I can't help but notice the lack of up-to-date reference guides about popfile writing. Perhaps we should assemble some of the mission writers from Potato's to create an official Steam guide for the group concerning the creation of bot templates and missions. I think it would be well worth our collective effort; hopefully it would make it easier for people to get into writing popfiles and we'd have more custom content to play! I wrote a guide about Attributes today and would love to do more work on that sort of thing.
